THE CLIMATE CHANGE SCAM.
The facts:
CO2 is a trace gas, it makes up only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
Expressed as a fraction, that is: four hundredths of one percent!
Only 3% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere is due to human activity
That is: three percent of four hundredths of one percent of CO2 in the atmosphere is likely to be caused by humans!
97% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere is from from natural sources
The UK only produced slightly over 1.% (1.02%) of the world's 3% total of CO2 caused by human activity!
That is: the UK produced around one hundredth
of the three percent total CO2 caused by humans!
The UK’s CO2 emissions have fallen by around 42% since 1990
CO2 is highly beneficial and crucial for life and plant growth.
An increase of CO2 would improve plant growth and reforestation.
The UK produces slightly over one hundredth of the human caused total of 3 percent (three hundredths) of the total four hundredths of one percent of CO2 in the atmosphere.
If you think that is a tiny, insignificant amount, you are perfectly correct.
All life is based on carbon, it is an essential food for plants. Plants obtain carbon from CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).
They separate the carbon from the oxygen which they release into the atmosphere.
The oxygen they release is also essential for life.
The idea that CO2 is a poison, or something undesirable, is preposterous nonsense. it is not based on good science, but politics, ideology and vested interests.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small compared to other gases, such as nitrogen, but it is essential.
The amount that humans contribute to the total CO2 is negligible. The vastly overwhelming amount - 97% is produced naturally. The idea that the other 3 percent, caused by humans, will destroy the planet is ridiculous.
Records going back centuries show that natural temperature rises are followed a rise in CO2, not the other way round. As the sea gets warmer it releases more CO2, a purely natural process. The most likely cause of the increase in temperature is activity on the Sun. The records show that it is an increase in temperature that causes an increase in CO2. This is not necessarily bad. A generally warmer climate caused by the Sun, with the resulting increase in CO2 is ideal for plant growth and a greener planet.
So, is CO2 a cause of global warming or climate change? Extremely unlikely!
You may ask; what about the scientific consensus, the claim that 97% of scientists agree that CO2 is a cause of climate change?
a) If something is repeated often enough, many people end up believing it. That’s how propaganda works.
b) Most scientists are not climate scientists, they work in other fields. They tend to respect the findings/opinions of other scientists, because they trust the scientific integrity of their peers, above any vested interests.
c) A consensus in science is not proof of anything. Scientific truth is not a democratic decision, it is not decided by a consensus, however large. That is a political concept, not a scientific one.
In science, empirical evidence is king.
The idea that a consensus opinion makes something beyond doubt, or unable to be challenged is an anathema to genuine scientific endeavour.
Science doesn’t work like that.
To impose a straightjacket on science is a fanatical position, which has the hallmark of ideological fanaticism. It is anti-science and a deplorable situation.
The common, political currency seems to be that anyone who dares to challenge the present, climate change opinion is a science denier, a term of abuse which is intended to imply they are wilfully ignorant, evil or even criminal.
That is an appalling situation. And very damaging for freedom of expression and the future of science. Scientific practice is a search for truth, not an ideology, or a political football. No genuine scientist, who has any integrity, can ever support such a situation. Any scientist who claims that manmade climate change is an irrefutable fact, or that issue is settled and the debate is over, is a disgrace to science.
There is no such thing as a ‘climate change denier’. It is a meaningless insult, invented by fanatical ideologues. All honest scientists would agree that any scientific opinion or hypothesis is only as good as the latest bit of evidence.
Inconvenient facts, the science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know:

Patrick Moore (one of the founders of Greenpeace) A dearth of carbon?
Dr. Moore says we were literally running out of carbon before we started to pump it back into the atmosphere, “CO2 has been declining to where it is getting close to the end of plant life, and in another 1.8 million years, life would begin to die on planet Earth for lack of CO2.”
According to Moore it is life itself that has been consuming carbon and storing it in carbonaceous rocks. He goes on to say, “billions of tons of carbonaceous rock represent carbon dioxide pulled out of the atmosphere, and because the Earth has cooled over the millennia, nature is no longer putting CO2 into the atmosphere to offset this.”

New NASA satellite data prove carbon dioxide is GREENING the Earth and restoring forests.
www.afinalwarning.com/500086.html?fbclid=IwAR2SoywjkPYu8-...
The latest Vegetation Index data from NASA shows that the Earth is getting progressively "greener" and lusher over time. The planet is 10 percent greener today than it was in 2000, NASA says, which means better conditions for growing crops. Forests are also expanding while deserts are becoming more fertile and usable for agriculture. All in all, the global Vegetation Index rose from 0.0936 to 0.1029 between 2000 and 2021, a 9.94 percent increase. "10 percent greening in 20 years! We are incredibly fortunate!" announced Zoe Phin, a researcher who compiled the data into a chart for her blog. "I just wish everyone felt that way. But you know not everyone does. To the extent that humans enhance global greening is precisely what social parasites want to tax and regulate. No good deed goes unpunished." A separate German study found that the globe has been greening for at least the past three decades. Satellite imagery suggests that vegetation has been expanding at a growing rate, contracting the gloom-and-doom narrative being spread by the climate alarmists.

Port of Victoria, Seychelles. A scene from daily office life at SOCOMEP, an enterprise that provides services for the Seychelles’ largest industry – industrial tuna fishing.
SOCOMEP stands out for its inclusion of women across all areas of the company’s work, including its managerial and scientific units.
Recently, UN Women visited Seychelles in continuation of a project with the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA). IORA is committed to advancing sustainable development and recognizes the Blue Economy and the empowerment of women and girls as important areas for collaboration in the dynamic and diverse communities of the region. Healthy oceans are important sources of livelihoods for billions around the world, including women. This is especially true for regions such as the Indian Ocean Rim. However, women have often been excluded from traditionally male-dominated employment, such as the fishing industry.

Sylvanna Antat, Marine Research Officer with the Seychelles National Parks Authority, plays a leading role in mapping coral reefs in the waters around Mahe Island in Seychelles. The health of the coral reefs is important both ecologically and economically, as reefs are important for biodiversity, and they provide protection from coastal erosion and help mitigate storm damage.
Across the world, women’s leadership in conservation efforts is often invisible. In Seychelles, women spearhead sustainable practices and work to find practical solutions to counter the negative impacts of climate change and degradation of ocean environments.

In the Katfoura village on the Tristao Islands in Guinea, the civil society organization Partenariat Recherches Environnement Medias (PREM) is providing rural women with new opportunities to generate income and improve community life.
Through a grant from UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality, PREM has helped rural women form several cooperatives and taught its members how to plant a vitamin-rich tree called Moringa and how to clean, dry and sell its leaves. Used as medicine or a dietary supplement by societies around the world, Moringa also supports biodiversity and prevents soil erosion.
The cooperatives are made up of local women who come together to share ideas, and they give women an opportunity to build leadership skills, strengthen community bonds, and participate in economic decisions that affect the community.
PREM is one of over 120 civil society organizations that has been awarded a grant by UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality since 2009. In the last six years, the Fund for Gender Equality has successfully awarded USD $64 million to grantee programmes in 80 countries. To date, such programmes have reached over 10 million women, girls and boys as direct beneficiaries.

4 May 2021. IDFI, a Georgian civil society organization (CSO), led a panel discussion with government and CSO leaders from the Caucasus region on their experiences in institutionalizing and localizing the SDGs and the importance of adopting a participatory approach. The panelists reflected on the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the process of achieving the SDGs at the national levels, and how they can learn from each other’s experiences.
The event was held during the 54th Annual Meeting of the ADB Board of Governors.
17 September 2020. ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa discussed with developing member countries and development partner representatives how their collaborative efforts can help address challenges facing the region in domestic resource mobilization (DRM) and international tax cooperation (ITC). President Asakawa also presented ADB’s Vision and Action Plan, including the establishment of a DRM and ITC regional hub.
Countries are facing increasing pressure to raise tax revenues, especially with the introduction of tax policy relief measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The webinar was held virtually as part of the 53rd Annual Meeting of the ADB Board of Governors (2nd Stage). View the full list of webinars and meetings.
The first stage of the 53rd Annual Meeting comprised a reduced-scale meeting of the Board of Governors on 22 May, during which Governors approved ADB’s financial statements and net income allocation in line with ADB institutional requirements.

New York, 20 September 2017 – The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present significant opportunities for the private sector to open up new market opportunities, attract new private investments in sustainable development by leveraging companies’ core competencies, expertise and resources.
Recognising this, UN leadership, including UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner and UN Global Compact CEO and and Executive Director Lise Kingo, met on Wednesday with CEOs from Ikea, Nutriset, Microsoft, Telenor, AACE and Willis Towers Watson to discuss how private sector and development actors can more systematically collaborate to achieve the SDGs while ensuring business profit, scale and sustainability.
Goals were scored for gender equality across the river from the United Nations, as the Global Goals World Cup took place on 19 September in Brooklyn, New York, to raise awareness on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“Women from all over the world have come here today to make the world a better place by using the power of sport to raise awareness on the SDGs,” Crown Princess Mary of Denmark said at the opening of the tournament, adding, “Sport has the power to change the world.”
One of the participating teams was the SDG5 Dream Team, a team composed of strong gender equality activists working towards changing the realities of women in their countries, each of them nominated by a high-level personality. Dina Smailova from Kazakhstan, who was nominated by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, played to raise awareness on sexual violence. A survivor of gang rape, with support from UN Women, she has consulted, guided and supported 200 women survivors in Kazakhstan and was instrumental in winning seven sexual violence cases just in the past year. Speaking at the event, Ms. Smailova encouraged women around the world to speak out and share their stories. “Don’t be silent, and you will be helped,” she said.
